According to the Observer, ITV's World of Sport future is in serious doubt and all because of TNA/Impact getting involved. ITV currently looking at the idea of partnering with someone else because of how toxic Impact has been to their project.

Wrestlers who were interested in ITV's series are also now looking at other options instead.

ITV is pissed their current plans had to be delayed and might try for an early 2018 launch but likely dropping it by then.

ITV wants to do it, and the feeling was that they had the structure to handle a taping for one show, but not a promotion, which is where TNA came aboard since they have experience in running a wrestling business. It’s certainly not dead that they would be able to reach an agreement and do tapings later. It also may not happen. Whether ITV would do it on their own or work with a U.K. promotion is still up in the air. The problem with the U.K. promotions is that all the talent in the U.K., besides those signed with WWE & Anthem are free agents and work everywhere, and ITV would want a crew under contract so WWE couldn’t pick them off. The Mirror reported that the shows won’t be taped until 2018 which will kill the project because I don’t see any top talent not getting signed somewhere before that. A lot of the talent doesn’t think it’s going to happen now since no new dates were announced and just the way it quietly was announced as not happening. One person key in the plans said the story they were told was they were looking at starting in the next year, which sounds a lot less promising than if they said they’d be taping in the next two months. There were several minor things done to sabotage the project but ultimately I think ITV wanted to try wrestling which used to be cheap programming in the old days, but now it’s expensive and you have to sign the talent to deals or you’ll lose them if they are good to one of many different companies, most notably WWE. There are major issues that aren’t settled. ITV supposedly has a backup plan, but working with What Culture is not something that is being considered right now based on what we’re told. A lot of the talent signed by ITV was unhappy when the word was that Impact would be taking over and wanted out, and even more disappointed when these shows were canceled. Some were told that it may not be until next year when the first tapings take place, which is where the starting back in 2018 story came from. There was actually talk among some of the guys of a Radicalz 2000 jump to WWE, which obviously would have loved to have taken the top tier talent from the project, but many of the key contracts with ITV from the first set of tapings were for one year, so they have a long way to go. There was talk of some of them being at the WWE tryouts, but I’m not sure WWE would let guys try out publicly who have existing contracts and we didn’t hear anything about the contracted guys here trying out. Others involved with the project outright told us that given how everything went down this past week, with the cancellation and not even a clue of a new tapings date, or the nebulous early 2018, that they are going with their own mentality of like it’s not happening, and it’s a big disappointment because much of the talent had high hopes for the project

Watching NXT..... was shaking my head at the fans doing the "TWO..... SWEEEEET" thing...... but then some other fans started to chant "That's annoying" at them, and then the other fans started chanting "So are you" back at them.......

Chant tearing apart the NXT universe.......

Wait, I think I've got it.

Is it just some <s>retarded</s> "young and hip" way to say that she makes money?

The saying is literally 20 years old though. Maybe its a cultural disconnect.

PS Typewriters are awesome.

Actually, I'm not a fan of the majority of the chants these days.

I don't understand wrestling fans trying to get themselves over. Buy a prostitute or something more interesting than wrestling chants. At the very least, fuck off.

I miss the days where crowd interaction was organic.

The Rock and Austin were both masters. Same with Road Dogg.

:yes:

Here's a video from Memphis 1988 of the fans chanting "He's got AIDS" when Brickhouse Brown talks about his manager Brother Ernest Angel being sick.

Big Daddy V meets Papa Shango.

The more I look at the gif, the more it looks like Big Daddy V and Papa Shango have also met Umaga.

... That's actually not a bad sounding name.

That is when Vince fell in love with "Samoa Joe".

Crowd is so bored

Every time I see some footage of a TNA show, be it a video or a gif, the crowd always looks so bored and uninterested.

Looks like Courtney Love.

I would be down for a courtney love type character.

Simple Fan, please explain that gif

Undertaker almost killing Kanyon with a chair shot.

Hated Taker during that time, that stupid beanie made him look like a douche.

Not as much as when he used Limp Bizkit as his theme, but yeah.

I didnt know Ryan Clark helped Kanyon write a book.

Kanyon's death was sad. Folks claimed he was sacked for being gay. Wasn't Patterson openly gay?

That would actually be a solid character to build a baby face

It would definitely be different. To my knowledge, there's never been a drugged out hot mess character.

Kanyon seemed like a really likeable guy.

I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not.

Yeah Patterson was, but Kanyon wasn't the legend Patterson was.

Vince has done homophobic, trashy storylines that could lead one to believe he is a homophobe but I don't think Vince cares about sexual preference, but enjoys offending anyone and everyone because that is his sense of humour.

But you know, maybe there's a need to be a fly on the wall in any situation that would lead Kanyon to believe Vince was a homophobe.

Cena is also wrong about Kanyon though, even as Kanyon, he was great. Who betta?
